lower accuracy-class voltages. A neutral element pickup of 10 percent of the circuit rating is normally
enough to be above any non-fault unbalance for a solidly grounded system. Lower settings are
appropriate and safe for impedance-grounded systems or for ungrounded, protected-equipment
connections.
Undervoltage settings should be as high as possible without allowing operation under the worse no-fault
conditions. An 85 percent of rated voltage setting meets these requirements. If motor starting or motor
accelerating following a fault can severely depress the relay voltage, a setting of 75 percent or 80 percent
may be advisable.
Setting Example
Figure 36 illustrates generator relay elements that are to be set in this example. Plant 11 kV feeders are
supplied by a 115 kV system that is supplemented by two local 3,700 kVA generators. Line 1 is illustrated
completely; line 2 is the same as line 1 and only shows major components. Settings are provided for the
BE1-51/27C Time Overcurrent Relay with voltage control, BE1-51 Time Overcurrent Relay, and BE1-67
